From the Daily Beast:

Fast food hasn’t just invaded our diets and expanded our waistlines; it has permeated our urban landscape and culture. On one hand, the prevalence of chains can be comforting–no matter where you go, chances are good that a Starbucks Skinny Caramel Macchiato is within reach. On the other hand, it’s a sign of the growing dominance of chains and waning appeal of independent restaurants.
